Request all call blocking (also called Complete Blocking). Callerid is then blocked except for certain calls (800, 877, and 900 numbers and 911 calls). Then when you call a number that you want to send the callerid you have to use *82 to turn it on for that call.

note for Fios Digital Voice.

Using Caller ID Block Permanently For All of Your CallsThere are two ways you can disable Caller ID to permanently prevent your Caller ID information from displaying to the person you are calling.

Lift your phone's handset and listen for the dial tone.

Press *31When you hear the confirmation tone, dial the number of the person you are calling.

Restoring Caller IDYou can use Caller ID Restore to cancel Caller ID Block on a per-call basis. This will allow your name and number to display on the Caller ID equipment of the person you are calling for one call only.

Lift your phone's handset and listen for the dial tone.

Press *82 and wait for the confirmation tone.

Dial the number of the person you are calling.

You can reestablish Caller ID so that it shows your name and number for every call.

Re: Change or block Caller ID name display on FIOS phone

Has the way to block outgoing Caller ID to a specific number been changed or has the feature been eliminated?

When I dial *31, I hear a rapid busy signal. This doesn't sound like a confirmation tone. Dialing the phone number after *31 has no effect. The busy signal just keeps on going.

I tried the online option, but there seems to be a problem with the web site. Verizon Digital Voice Manager (https://www36.verizon.com/fiosvoice/) looks promising until I log in. After I log in it takes me to a page which is just a single-page advertisement for the service, with no links at all.

It seems like the service to block caller ID to a specific number is no longer available. It is not mentioned in the 2012 FiOS Voice User Guide. According to the guide, pressing *31 now blocks caller ID for all calls you make.
